2. In my opinion, Tao Te Ching is a philosophical work full of oriental wisdom, which has a very far-reaching impact on China society and culture, and also has a good guiding significance for modern society. In fact, many allusions and words we often say come from Tao Te Ching, such as doing nothing, being kind as water, being invisible as an image and so on. Of course, although it is only a short 5000 words, its thought is very profound, and it is not easy to fully understand it. Today, I mainly want to talk about my experience after reading it: weak wins over strong.
3. Everything has a "Tao", such as being an official, doing business, and keeping in good health. From governing the country and managing enterprises, to dealing with people and personal life, it is inseparable from the truth that "the Tao is born, the morality is educated, the things are done, and the situation is successful"-that is to say, after things happen, we must cultivate ourselves with morality and support it with practical actions. Laozi endowed "Tao" with supreme status in Tao Te Ching. The reason why "Tao" has infinite status is because its nature is weak. If it is applied to our life, it is weak and strong.
4. Weakness and strength are contradictory, so how can weakness overcome strength? It needs patience and restraint, it needs to hide its strength and bear the burden of humiliation, and it needs to pay year after year. As we all know, water is the softest thing, but it contains infinite power. There are hundreds of rivers and great tolerance; The wall stands a thousand miles, and it is just without desire. In fact, it is precisely because of weakness that it contains unlimited potential and can be full of vitality forever. Like weak grass, it flutters with the wind in the storm, but it will never break, while tall and strong trees are easily destroyed by strong winds.
There are many stories in history that illustrate this truth. Because of his weak personality, Liu Bang was cautious everywhere, and saved the day every time a disaster struck. Although Xiang Yu was brave and good at fighting, it was a pity that he was arrogant, but in the end he was ruined and Wujiang River committed suicide. There is also the story of Gou Jian's "obedience" and Han Xin's "humiliation under his legs", all of which illustrate this truth. A full bow is easy to break, a strong man is easy to die, and a weak one is better than a strong one. Just imagine, if Gou Jian, the King of Yue, did not bear the humiliation and be impulsive, how could he make a comeback and seek revenge and hegemony in the future? Similarly, if Han Xin was humiliated not because of Du Jie, but because he drew his sword and killed people on impulse. I'm afraid that the result in the future will be to pay the price of life and disappear silently. Nothing will be able to defeat the immortal general of overlord Xiang Yu in the future.
6. "Wildfire never completely devoured them, but they grew taller in the spring breeze." The grass is weak, but its life is tenacious. In War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the weak China endured humiliation and finally defeated the powerful Japanese invaders. In the present era of peace, China has always adhered to the foreign policy of keeping a low profile and keeping a low profile. In fact, it does not try to be brave, and participates in the handling of international affairs in a low profile, which has won the respect of all countries in the world, while the United States, by virtue of its hegemonic position, has caused troubles everywhere and its international reputation has gone from bad to worse.
7. Weakness does not mean timidity and submission to Nuo Nuo. In modern society, it is modest and prudent, low-key and pragmatic attitude, and open-minded mind. For dealing with people, weakness is a kind of self-cultivation. It teaches us not to be complacent, to go forward bravely, to keep a low profile, to be quiet and far-reaching, not to be complacent and complacent because of temporary success, and not to slack off and lose confidence because of temporary setbacks. For being an official in politics, weakness is also a survival wisdom. Even if you are in an important position, you should be low-key and cautious, be clumsy and not sharp-edged, otherwise your bow will be full and easy to break. "The world is the softest and the strongest." Only by showing weakness properly can we get away with it and become the final winner.
8. Weakness is better than strength, which is the philosophy taught by the ancients. After reading the Tao Te Ching carefully, you can feel that Laozi's thoughts travel through time and space and reach our hearts directly. Put away your edge, save your strength, work hard, be soft-hearted, take the initiative at the right time, and you will certainly achieve great things.
